Annabel Butler: Over the Rooftops - Art Collector

The works in Over the Rooftops are loosely based on the buildings surrounding Butler’s studio in the suburb of Neuhausen in Munich, Germany, where she lived for a number of years. The paintings are not realistic depictions, but recollections, painted from memory since returning to Australia. Neuhausen, meaning “new houses” is actually one of the oldest suburbs in Munich. It is a densely built area of the city notable for its proliferation of brightly painted houses.
